Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Vaccines may help the body build an effective immune response to kill cancer cells. Giving vaccine therapy after an autologous stem cell transplant may kill any cancer cells that remain after transplant.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well vaccine therapy works in treating patients who have undergone autologous stem cell transplant for high-risk lymphoma or multiple myeloma.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
  • Biological: Streptococcus pneumoniae
  • Other: laboratory correlative studies
  • Other: quality-of-life assessment
N/A

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Assess immune reconstitution as measured by response to pneumococcal polyvalent vaccine, NK-cell activity against autologous lymphoblastoid cell lines, and cytomegalovirus and Epstein-Barr virus tetramer responses in patients who have undergone autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for high-risk lymphoma or multiple myeloma.

Secondary

  • Assess the absolute number of circulating regulatory T-cells and the function of these cells as measured by their expression of TGFβ and interleukin-10 (IL-10).

  • Evaluate the effect of conditioning therapy on quality of life, including functional status, fatigue, and depression, in these patients.

  • Correlate quality of life with inflammatory cytokine production of peripheral blood monocytes at specified time points.

  • Provide baseline immune reconstitution and quality of life pilot data for comparison in future post-transplant immunotherapy trials.

OUTLINE: Patients receive pneumococcal polyvalent vaccine intramuscularly once in weeks 9, 17, and 25 after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Blood samples are collected periodically for correlative and immunological studies.

Quality of life (QOL) is assessed periodically using the QOL short form (SF-36, 4-week version), the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression scale (CES-D), and the Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory (MFSI-30).

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Prevnar

The conjugate vaccine for Streptococcus pneumoniae will be administered during weeks 9, 17, and 25 after autologous HSCT - the study nurse will arrange for the vaccine to be administered at the specified time and the patient will be instructed to notify an investigator or study nurse of any side effects of vaccine administration. At the specified times, patients will fill out the quality-of-life assessment. All patients enrolled on this trial will have samples procured for all proposed laboratory correlative studies.

Biological: Streptococcus pneumoniae
Patients will receive 0.5 mL Prevnar in the deltoid muscle during weeks 9, 17, and 25 after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)
Other Names:
  • Prevnar
  • PCV7
  • Other: laboratory correlative studies
    Approximately 30-mL of blood will be collected and sent to the appropriate research lab(s) for processing.
    Other Names:
  • laboratory biomarker analysis
  • blood samples
  • Other: quality-of-life assessment
    Responses to Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, 9-item brief fatigue inventory 57, brief pain inventory, and the FACT-G. This should take each patient approximately 10-15 minutes to fill out all these surveys per instance.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants Experiencing Immune Reconstitution [Up to 2 years]

      Immune reconstitution as measured by response to conjugate vaccine to Streptococcus pneumoniae (Prevnar, PCV7), NK cell activity against autologous lymphoblastoid cell lines, and CMV & EBV tetramer responses after autologous transplant for myeloma

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Serial Assessment of the Absolute Number of Circulating Regulatory T-cells and the Function of These Cells as Measured by Their Expression of TGFβ and Interleukin-10 (IL-10) [Up to 3 years]

    2. Correlation of Quality of Life With Inflammatory Cytokine Production of Peripheral Blood Monocytes [Up to 3 years]

    3. Quality of Life, Including Brief Pain Inventory [Up to 3 years]

      The Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI-SF) asks respondents to rate the severity of their current, least, average, and worst pain over the previous 24 hours on a scale of 0 to 10. The BPI-SF also asks respondents to rate on a scale of 0 to 10 the degree to which pain interfered with seven different areas of their life (e.g., general activity, normal work, etc.)Scale 0-10 with 0 being no pain and 10 being pain as bad as you can imagine.

    4. Quality of Life, Including Fatigue [Up to 3 years]

      Brief Fatigue Inventory is a 9-item BFI assessing the severity of fatigue and the impact of fatigue on daily function. Scale 0-10 with 0 being no fatigue and 10 being as bad as you can imagine.

    5. Collection of Baseline Immune Reconstitution and Quality of Life Pilot Data for Comparison in Future Post-transplant Immunotherapy Trials [Up to 3 years]
